Gitex 2019: Abu Dhabi’s DPM, ADDA, Aldar ink home-service deal

'Buy a Home' planned to make home purchases easier through the 'seamless exchange of data' via an integrated system

Abu Dhabi’s Department of Urban Planning and Municipalities (DPM), in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Digital Authority (ADDA) and real estate developer Aldar Properties, launched a home service named 'Buy a Home' at the 39th edition of the Gitex Technology Week, being held at Dubai World Trade Centre on 6-10 October 2019.

The tripartite agreement between DPM, ADDA, and Aldar comprises joint initiatives and events that aim to "create a seamless exchange of data between government entities through an integrated system", which is expected to provide access to data that can help customers purchase a home more easily.

The services offered range from searching for a suitable home based on set area requirements, engineering drawings and including home exterior designs, financing systems offered by Aldar, implementing the transfer of the title process, and utilities set-up requests.

The 'Hassantuk' programme, offered as a value-added service, will help customers complete the purchase of their home, and introduce safety and protection measures such as firefighting systems to the new home-owners.

Commenting on the partnership in an ADDA statement, chief executive officer of Aldar Properties, Talal Al Dhiyebi, said: “Contributing to the welfare of the Abu Dhabi community is an ongoing priority and commitment for us at Aldar, and we remain focused on delivering attractive destinations and cutting-edge services that meet the aspirations of Abu Dhabi’s residents and visitors alike.

"We are proud to partner with DPM and ADDA to provide a digital-led unified and interactive experience that is in line with the latest innovations in tech.”
